Salt Meat Broth Tablets

Enrich and isolate halophilic organisms, especially staphylococci, using Thermo Scientific™ Oxoid™ Salt Meat Broth Tablets. Salt Meat Broth Tablets are specially designed for the isolation of staphylococci from grossly contaminated specimens such as feces, particularly during the investigation of staphylococcal food poisoning. The medium is highly sensitive as it can detect even low numbers of staphylococci from samples having large proportions of heterogeneous microbial flora.^1,2

Use Salt Meat Broth Tablets for enrichment and isolation of halophilic organisms.

• Detect even low numbers of staphylococci from samples.
• Applicable for the cultivation of some of the halophilic micrococci associated with hides and raw salt supplies

It should be noted that staphylococci growing in this medium cannot be directly tested for coagulase production - they should first be sub-cultured on a medium which contains less salt. Sub-culture to a medium of lower salt content, such as Blood Agar Base (CM0271) or Nutrient Agar (CM0003), is suggested for this purpose.
